Business Development Manager @ MULTIVAC Asia
About
I have always been interested in Food Processing. Growing up, we were taught that even a modest loaf of bread does not come by easily. It is the accumulation of sweat and blood from many farmers, millers and bakers in order to put that loaf of bread on our table. While it sounds like a big term, Food Processing is nothing but the transformation of agricultural products into food. The trick here is manipulating processes to ensure minimal wastage and maximum quality, resulting in products that we can all take pride in. This, is my "Specialty".
